One of the most delicious and delectable drinks you can enjoy throughout the year is a smooth, cream liqueur. Most people are used to the Irish Creams, like Bailey’s or similar brands. However, when you’re in the southwest, you need to try something a little more “local.” Here at La Posta de Mesilla’s Adobe Cantina, we like 1921’s Crema Tequila and the always amazing RumChata.

When tequila distiller Arturo Lomeli made his first tequila offering in 1997, the bottle had a sombrero and a handlebar mustache on it. And it was terrible! This, according to Arturo himself, who said he was sorely disappointed in the product he made. So he went back to the drawing board. What grew from that disappointment was one of the earliest and best examples in the category of Premium Tequila.

Tequila Sauza is known throughout the world for their attention to detail and sparing no expense in pursuit of the finest tequila they can make. Those characteristics shine in their delicious Sauza Conmemorativo. This fine tequila is probably the most elegant añejo tequilas within its super low price point of less than $20 a bottle! When you consider all that goes into each bottle, this price is truly astounding!

Clase Azul, the ultra-premium tequila brand owned by master distiller Arturo Lomeli, introduced its very own mezcal offering in 2015. Known for the care, time and trouble spent making their tequilas, Clase Azul intended to connect with the very culture of Mexico for this smoky, smooth spirit.

Don Julio Tequila is one of the best tequilas made. From humble beginnings, Don Julio Estrada turned this spirit into something known for refinement when, at the time, it was the drink of the working man. Today, his legacy continues in two amazing tequilas….Don Julio 1942 and Don Julio Real.
